Pink Icing® has breathtaking spring and fall foliage. Spring brings lovely new growth foliage color that has varying shades of pink mixed with blue and deeper greens. In the winter, Pink Icing foliage takes on a stunning iridescent turquoise blue foliage hue which is impressive when planted en masse. Pink Icing® is a wonderful complement to Peach Sorbet®, another Bushel and Berry™ blueberry variety. Plant Pink Icing® as a backdrop with Peach Sorbet in the front for varying heights of foliage colors. Bushel and Berry™ network growers trialed this variety for 2-3 years and begged us to release it due to its beautiful foliage colors. So here is PInk Icing! Plant in decorative patio pots or plant in the landscape or garden for year round color and beauty.

Baby Cakes is a dwarf, thornless blackberry perfect for container gardening with its compact habit. Spring and early summer bring bright white flowers. In summer, large, sweet berries present on top of the plant in a fireworks-like spray of fruit. The plant has a somewhat round shape with upright growth reaching 3-4′ in height. In most regions, this blackberry will produce twice with a mid-summer floricane crop and a mid-fall primocane crop. The later crop is sometimes inhibited by high summer temperatures so gardeners in areas with hot summers may need to rely primarily on the floricane fruit. – Brazelberries®
Bred by the creator of Knockoutr, White Out™ brings strong growth and excellent disease resistance to the garden along with an unending succession of single white flowers surrounding a center of golden stamens that will populate the garden from May through October. Think of White Out™ as a more compact, vigorous ‘Iceberg’…it will have that kind of effect on the garden. In fact, the breeder feels it’s the best white shrub rose that has been introduced in decades…a strong endorsement from such a talented breeder. Try it yourself in groups to form a mass of white bloom that is even more pronounced when backed by the nearly black green foliage this selection serves up on each dense, compact plant.

Its clear, fully double, light pink flowers will make it jump even more with a display of pastel blooming power that will make you admire it spring, summer and into fall. Its tight low form, foliage and bloom combine to make it a great mixer in perennial gardens, a complemetary wonder in a mixed container or an eye catching groundcover when massed in the landscape.
(Northern Hardy)Welcome the first non-pink or red flower color to the Knock Out® Rose family to your garden! It will stand out because of its color, there’s no doubt about that, but it will also stand out because of it’s extreme vigor, outstanding disease resistance and a bloom that will make your heart melt. Loads of buds top deep green foliage from May to October, continually opening to reveal bright yellow, single, 3″ diameter flowers that mature to creamy yellow as they age. The plants clean themselves, dropping their spent petals to promote garden neatness, and they are perfect for grouping in the landscape, getting them established in any sunny area then letting them alone to do their thing which will be to make your landscape look great without taxing you in the care process!!
Perhaps one of the toughest plants of any type, this selection belies its ruggedness with a beguiling display of flowering beauty.

Commonly known as Beach Rose for its native habitat, this selection will tolerate sand, salt, and whatever other indignity you heap upon it and still keep growing!
(Northern Hardy) Slightly different in form with a more cascading look rather than the more tight, compact, rounded look or its relatives, Red Driftr will bring a great, pendulous element to your landscape or a container with a flowing form that is accentuated by its massive bunches of small, eye catching red double flowers. Like all Driftr Roses, Red Driftr blooms long and powerfully from late May to mid fall and will be a low maintenance wonder along a walkway, in a small landscape sliver or in a container where its somewhat draping form make you gasp with delight.
